Re: How do we launch this thing? 2014
I have contemplated most of these designs, in addition to a cam design. Our team plans to test a pneumatic shooter, but does not predict great success.

Personally, I believe that Simbotics' 2008 robot has a very nice design that would work extremely well this year.

I believe that the best designs are wither something similar to Simbotics' 2008 shooter or some sort of cam with a huge boot attached to the corresponding "hammer". (Google "da Vinci cam")
